What is the ZhouYi?
More popularly known as the 'Yijing' (iChing) or 'Book of Changes', the ZhouYi is primarily a book of divination generated by the pre-Chinese Zhou ethnic group (1027-221 BCE) - 'Yi' simply means change.
A compilation of 64 images (or hexagrams) each consisting of 6 individual line statements comprises the base text. Compiled some 2,500 years ago, the 64 hexagrams have never been altered or added to.
Recorded October 3rd, 2009, 3hrs 5min (67MB).
